Merry Christmas!

Abby, Mo and I had a wonderful Christmas! Hammy Shan (Brad's Mom) came and stayed at our house on Christmas Eve and opened presents with us on Christmas morning. We had a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner and a delicious Christmas morning breakfast.

In the afternoon, we went to Abby's parents for a fun dinner, to open gifts and to play games with her family. We had a great time with them.

As you can see in the picture, Abby looks great! Most people can't believe that she's over 8 months pregnant! She still works out several times a week...I think that I've gained more weight during her pregnancy than she has! :)

We had a wonderful Christmas with many of our family members and friends! Here in Utah, it even snowed most of the morning and evening to make it a very White Christmas. We feel very blessed to have so many great friends and family members. Those of you who weren't here with us, we missed you, but we were thinking of you. We hope that all of you had a very Merry Christmas with your families!

Love, Brad, Abby & Mo

Mo Update: Officially "Full Term"

Mo's official due date is Jan 19; however, all three ultrasounds have shown a due date of Jan 16. If we go off of the ultrasound, today is the end of the 37th week, which means Mo is officially full term!

Mo's big day appears to be rapidly approaching. We found out at the ultrasound on Dec 17 that little Mo has a full head of hair and was up to about 6 lbs! At Abby's last appointment on Monday, Dec 22, she was dilated to a 3 and 75% effaced. (I know that means something to all of you women out there...it didn't mean much to me until Abby explained it to me.) :) The doctor told Abby that it may be a matter of days or a matter of weeks...there really isn't any way to know.

So that you can cast your vote as to when you think Mo will join us, we've added a poll to the right column of the blog . We know that many of you check the blog regularly (even though we've been slackers at keeping it up to date), so we'll do our best to keep it updated so that you'll know when the baby is born.



Here is a picture of Mo's cute little bassinet that Hammy Shan gave her for Christmas. As you can see, it's all ready for her to join us any day now.

By the way, many of you keep asking if we've selected a name for her. We haven't yet...we've narrowed it down to a few that we really like, but we probably won't have an official name until we see her. One thing is for certain--we're going to have a hard time not calling her "Mo"! :)
